COLLEN Makaza of Zimbabwe and Sue Harrison representing Team England won the IAU World 50km individual titles in Galway, Ireland, this following very impressive performances.

The Radisson Blu Galway City Marathon (26.2 miles) was run in conjunction with the IAU World 50km (31 miles) Trophy Final.

The race consisted of two Half Marathon loops followed by four short loops around the centre of the city to complete the 50km. The course was undulating but with lengthy flat sections. The most challenging part of the course was the hill present at 13km (and again at 34km) that was a kilometre long.

Zimbabwean athlete Collen Makaza recorded a unique double by winning both the marathon and the World 50km crown, as Leamington’s Sue Harrison also doubled up successfully in the women’s category.

Makaza crossed the line in 2:47.21 to take victory ahead of South African Sandile Ngunuzza and Michael Wardian of the USA with the England team of Julian Rendall, 10th in 3:09:19, Paul Fernandez 13th in 3:13:00 and Tim Doran on his international debut finishing 18th in 3:20:17.

Harrison finished in an impressive 15th place overall in a time of 3:15:42 to secure the women’s title ahead of Italian Andrea Anselmi with compatriots Helen Taranowski finishing 22nd in 3:37:42 and Adela Salt 23rd in 3:40:09.

There were 13 selection races held from Canada and Argentina to Japan and Australia to select athletes for the World Trophy Final. The criteria for selection included a sub 3:20 (men) and sub 3:50 (women) run. The winners of the series races were automatically selected and following the preliminary selections the fastest finishers were invited until the selection pool was filled. In addition a few runners had invitations extended on the basis of their marathon times.

RUNBRITAIN have announced the launch of the 2011 runbritain Grand Prix series linking five of Britain's leading road races for a total prize purse in excess of £55,000.

The prize fund announced for the Grand prix series will be available for athletes eligible to compete for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and will be awarded on a points-for-places system.

Athletes finishing in the top 250 male or female finishers in any of the series' races will receive points with their best four performances out of five scoring opportunities counting towards the final standings.
The races involved in the 2011 Grand Prix series are:
Reading Half Marathon – Sunday 20th March
Bristol 10k – Sunday 15th May
BUPA London 10,000 – Monday 30th May
Admiral Swansea Bay 10k - Sunday 25th September
EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon – Sunday 23rd October

runbritain MD, Geoff Wightman said "This is a pilot format and in future years we will aim to extend the width and depth of the runbritain grand prix series. We want to raise the standards of domestic race fields and put in the incentives and quality racing opportunities that will enable Brits to step up.

"All of these are very well organised races, with PB opportunities. As well as currently backing home-grown runners, they have been strong supporters of all runbritain initiatives so far this year and have agreed to hold back places for grand prix scorers.

2010 Hermitage 10km

(Incorp. Leicestershire County Championships)

Whitwick, Leicestershire

Sunday 15th August 2010

ENGLAND international Gemma Steel stepped out of her front door jogged down to the start line and then promptly raced around her local 10k course to smash the 2008 record set by Felicity Milton en-route to collecting the Leicestershire County Championship title by finishing in second place overall in the process – a Sunday morning well spent!

The 24-year-old representing Charnwood AC has been in sparkling form over the 10k distance this year setting a lifetime best of 33:29 at the national championships in Bristol back in May and then subsequently leading the Team England challenge at the Berlin Vattenfall City-Night event finishing runner-up to the two-time London Marathon champion Irina Mikitenko.

Steel steamed over the finish line along the disused Charnwood Forest Railway in Whitwick like an express train to take victory in the women’s race with a time of 34:34 well ahead of Barrow’s Catherine Draper (40:11) and third placed Rachel Swan of Hinckley (46:11).

In the men’s race David Lipscomb prevailed for the OWLS with a time of 34:29 to claim his first major championship title and road-race victory improving his previous lifetime best of 36:19 set in race twelve months ago. The vastly experienced Gareth Deacon representing Leicester Coritanians secured second place twenty-three seconds adrift of the leader with Shrewsbury’s Tim Pillow third (36:42).

GEMMA Steel’s fine run of form continued with a gun-to-tape victory at the challenging Meerbrook 15k race near Leek, Staffordshire.

Having finished runner-up to the two-time London Marathon champion Irina Mikitenko at the Vattenfall City-Night 10km in Berlin last month when representing Team England, the 24-year-old Charnwood athlete set a lifetime best over the rarely run 15k distance setting a course-record time of 56mins 42secs to secure the win ahead of Telford’s Claire Martin, second in 1:00.05, and third placed Sarah Johnson (1:00.57) of Trentham Runners.

Steel’s winning margin sliced over five minutes off the previous course-record.

Kenyan Edwin Kipkorir, winner of the recent Bupa Great North 10k in Sunderland, prevailed in a very high quality men’s race clocking a time of 49:15 ahead of course record-holder, Great Britain’s Andi Jones, who was returning to racing having been forced to pull-out of the SPAR European Championships marathon in Barcelona the previous week sighting heat exhaustion.

Jones finished runner-up in 49:36 with Birchfield Harrier Jean Burundi third in 54:23 ahead of Beaumont Running Club’s Philip Chritchlow, fourth in 54:48, and fifth placed Australian John Dutton (55:10).

FORMER 5,000m world record holder David Moorcroft, OBE, is heading up a Loughborough University team competing in the Round Leicester Relay for Anthony Nolan, the charity that takes back lives from leukaemia by recruiting to and managing the UK’s most successful bone marrow register.

Moorcroft, the UK Athletics President and Loughborough PE and Sports Science graduate, is part of a team of staff, research students and alumni that includes former English National XC winner Angela Newport and current GB XC Team member Sonia Samuels.

The 13-strong University team will complete the 92-mile relay on Sunday 26th September to raise awareness of the importance of the Anthony Nolan charity that relies on public donations to continue saving lives.

University staff and members of local club Barrow Runners have organised the challenge in support of Dean of Engineering, Steve Rothberg who is undergoing treatment for leukaemia. This follows on from a donor drive for Anthony Nolan at the University in May that attracted the highest number of recruits from any UK university to date. Since then, a donor has been found for Steve, however there are 1,400 adults and children in the UK and 16,000 people worldwide still in need of a bone marrow transplant.

Now in its 21st year, the Round Leicester Relay roughly follows the Leicester Round footpath taking in some of the county's landmarks such as the Iron Age fort at Burrough Hill, Bosworth Battlefield, Bradgate Park and Beacon Hill. In addition to competing for Loughborough University, David Moorcroft will be presenting the prizes at Mowmacre Hill School Sports Hall, Tedworth Green, Leicester at approximately 6.30pm.

Loughborough University Vice Chancellor, Professor Shirley Pearce, said: “Bringing together a team of past and present staff and students from the University through a sporting challenge is a fantastic way to support the Anthony Nolan charity.” She continues, “This is such a worthy cause that has a personal meaning to so many of us at Loughborough, as a consequence of Steve Rothberg’s engagement with the Trust, and it is great to see such support from across the University including our alumni network. I wish Steve a speedy and full recovery and to our runners, an enjoyable race.”

The Round Leicester Relay is an un-marshalled race and therefore any extra help with transport, crowd support and water will be greatly appreciated. If you would like to help support the event, please contact Abigail Bartholomew.

BRUCE Raeside (Notts AC) and Clare Mensley (Charnwood) were the individual winners of the penultimate race of the Leicestershire Summer Road Running League campaign staged over the tough and demanding Joy Cann Memorial 5 mile course in Huncote.

In the race that attracted a record field of over 550 runners, held in memory of Huncote Harrier Joy Cann and has raised over £12,000 for local charities Scotland’s Bruce Raeside, the 28-year-old coached by Trevor Muxlow, continued his fine run of victories on the roads in 2010 completing his third win over the 5 mile distance having won at Long Eaton and Nottingham this summer crossing the line over the testing course surrounding Narborough in a time of 24mins 27secs finishing just six seconds outside of the course-record well over a minute clear of the highly talented middle-distance teenager Danny Hallam (OWLS) with Nigel Stirk (Leicester Coritanians) third.

Clare Mensley completed victory in the women’s race outpacing Catherine Draper (Barrow Runners) by a margin of just five seconds over the line as the 22-year-old Loughborough University student, part of Charnwood’s hugely successful relay squad and winner of the Ashby 5 LRRL winter league race back in January, clocked a time of 29:51 with Nicola Roder (Leicester TRI) securing third in 30:23.

20th SPAR European Athletics Championships

Olympic Stadium, Barcelona

Sunday 1st August 2010 – Men’s Marathon

VIKTOR Rothlin of Switzerland returned from major health problems to improve on his silver medal four-years ago to win the men's European marathon title in Barcelona.

The 35-year-old sixth placer in the 2008 Beijing Olympics just a year after developing thrombosis which led to a pulmonary embolism and after having had heel surgery broke clear of the leading pack at the 15 miles point of the race and never looked back running solo for the vast majority of the race to cross the finish line in a time of 2hrs 15mins 31secs.

The gold medallist in Gothenburg 2006, Italy's Stefano Baldini, was forced to pull out at halfway as Spain’s Jose Manuel Martinez, the 2002 European Championships 10,000m gold medallist, to the delight of the large home crowd lining the streets of the Catalan capital on a very warm morning secured silver in 2:17.50 with Russian Dmitriy Safronov taking bronze in 2:18.16.

Channel Islander Lee Merrien led the British challenge with an impressive eighth place finish clocking 2:20.42 in only his second ever race over the distance.

Dave Webb finished 16th in 2:23.04, with Commonwealth bronze medallist Dan Robinson, 19th in 2:24.06, followed by Ben Moreau, 24th 2:27.08 and Martin Williams, 28th in 2:28.30. Andi Jones failed to finish.

In the men's race Musa Roba Kinkal completed a double home victory for Germany prevailing in a time of 29:08 finishing 13 seconds clear of Kenyan Felix Limo (29:21), as England’s Phil Wicks secured third in 29:25 one place ahead of Anthony Ford (30:11) with Mark Warmby 9th (31:41).

Olympic Stadium, Barcelona

Saturday 31st July 2010 – Women’s Marathon

ZIVILE Balciunaite representing Lithuania won the women's marathon title at the 20th European Athletics Championships over a picturesque Barcelona city centre course.

Balciunaite (31), clocked a time of 2hrs 31mins 14secs to improve on her fourth place in Gothenburg 2006, this following a runaway victory from the 25k point finishing ahead of Russian Nailya Yulamanova (2:32.15) and Italian Anna Incerti (2:32.48).

Romania’s Lidia Simon, the 2001 world champion in Edmonton, led the race up to the halfway point, however, the 36-year-old began to slow heading into the second half leaving Balciunaite to make her decisive move.

Michelle Ross-Cope lead the Greta Britain squad to a fine team bronze as the City of Stoke athlete came home in 2:38.45, followed by compatriot Susan Partridge, just 22 seconds behind in 2:39.07.

Holly Rush (2:42.44) and Helen Decker (2:43.00) were the next two over the line in 20th and 21st place, whilst, Rebecca Robinson (2:44.06) and Jo Wilkinson (2:44.11) completed the British team finishing in 24th and 25th place respectively to gain the podium place.

Friday 30th July 2010

THE 2010 International Snowdon Race / Ras-yr-Wyddfa lived up to all expectations on Saturday (24th July) as the field took on some of the worst conditions that the event has had to endure in recent years.

The athletes were greeted with mist and light rain as they took to the start line at 2pm, however these conditions were nothing compared to what awaited them on the upper slopes of Snowdon, with strong winds and driving rain awaiting them at the summit, some 5 miles away and at an elevation of over 3500 feet.

Four Leicestershire athletes took up this years challenge with Fleckney & Kibworth’s Adam Taylor, turning out in the colours of his second claim club Saddleworth, producing arguably his best performance over the fells to date with an outstanding 33rd place overall and placing 9th in the open event which took place alongside the main international head-to-head. Taylor took the summit in 52:15 and upon his return to Lanberis stopped the clock at 1:20:29. The other county runners were Ian Gladwell of West End Runners in 1hr 32min 14sec followed by Keith Markley (Wigston Phoenix) in 1.51.45 and Markley’s clubmate Stuart Fry, in 2.03.55.

Parc Padarn, the location for the race start, was described as one of the most colourful and best presented in years and despite the weather conditions a huge crowd of spectators gathered to watch the race start. In 2009 tragedy struck on the mountain as local man Mark Lear lost his life during the race. The anniversary of this sad event was marked by a minutes silence at five minutes to two, and was immaculately respected by the runners and crowd.

The event was one of great anticipation with the occasion of Kenny Stuart’s 1985 course record being marked with the man himself acting as race starter and guest of honour at the evening presentation, and once respects had been paid it was time to turn attentions to racing.

Also present was Ireland’s Robbie Bryson, the summit record holder of an amazing 39 min and 47 secs and Robbie was also running the race. Add into the fold the first African competitor in the shape of Wilson Chemweno, and a little bit of Welsh rain, and this one was always going to be special.

Stuart got the runners underway at bang on two o'clock and we were soon reminded of why this race is known as the International Snowdon race with the first 40 - 50 runners a sea of English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Danish and Italian vests. But it was Kenyan Chemweno who grasped the nettle as the 483 starters made their way onto the mountain and he established a sizeable lead by halfway. Behind Italian Rolando Piana was chasing hard, and as they approached Allt Goch, some three quarters into the ascent, the strongman from Italy passed Chemweno as the weather conditions began to take their toll on the African athlete.

Tucked in behind was 18 year-old Scotsman Robbie Simpson, and as events unfolded he was about to take his chance for glory as they turned for the return trip to Llanberis. As Piana summited in first place he inextricably took the wrong path to Rhyd Ddu, a mistake that was to lose him the race, Wilson was second at the top with Simpson third.

Times on top of the mountain were understandably not close to Bryson’s mark, however after the Italian’s mishap Wilson gallantly led the high-quality field as they headed for home. Unfortunately it was the tricky rocks of this famous mountain, made lethally wet by the driving rain, which were to be the African’s undoing as the British and Italian mountain men took their dive for the descent – and the young Scot would now revel in the conditions.

He quickly caught Chemweno and over the ensuing 5 miles Simpson opened up a sizeable gap on the older and hugely more experienced chasers. Amongst them three-time winner Ian Holmes, but he and the rest of the Italian and English internationals were unable to catch the Deeside youngster.

"I actually on knew that I had won as I rounded the finish straight and saw the ribbon across the line", he said, "I knew that they (Chemweno and Piana) were ahead at the top, but after I passed Wilson I was then expecting Piana to come into sight. When I hadn't caught him by half-way bridge I was thinking how fast is he going, as I thought that I was going really well! The support was amazing, it was such a great race for me. It feels great to win this race, especially at my first attempt too.”

The truth was to all unfold as the tales were told back at the finish area and it fellow Italian Alex Baldaccini who was to fly the Italian flag on the podium, outsprinting Ian Holmes for second by the slenderest of margins. It was to be a tough baptism on Snowdon for Kenyan Chemweno, who eventually finished in seventh place, however this man will never be forgotten as a possible trail-blazer for the African nation in British mountain racing, though when asked if he himself would be back again to race he simply said, "I don't think so, I hated coming down!"

Simpson’s time of 1:07:58 will not trouble the record books, however it will go down of the one of the greatest wins on this mountain.

First Welsman home was Andy Davies in 9th position, England easily took the team prize as Holmes was backed up by Richard Baker in 5th and Danny Hope in 6th . Shrewsbury's Steven Cale won the Open prize for non-international competitors in 10th place and Eryri Harriers Iain Ridgway, Matt Fortes and Hugh Connell secured a highly popular team win for the local club.

It was to be double delight for the Scottish team as Catriona Buchanan won the ladies event, and at just 18 years old the GB junior international also became the youngest female to win this prestigious mountain race. Runner-up Pippa Maddams is the reigning British fell running champion, but was unable to match the young Scot as Buchanan summitted in 52:23, some 50 seconds up on Maddams, and carried on to more or less hold the gap all way back to the finish at Parc Padarn.

Speaking later Buchanan said, “I’m so pleased. It was a very hard race out there, but I really enjoyed it and I am particularly happy to beat some very good English girls too.”

With Lauren Jeska in third place the English girls also won the team prize with back-up from Emma Clayton, who unfortunately took a heavy tumble on her way down. Nant Peris runner Sarah Ridgway won the female Open prize and also led the Eryri ladies team to the win, with back-up from Tammy Lewis-Jones and Katrina Spinney.

GORDON Lee and Nicki Nealon completed fine individual victories at the latest round of the LRRL summer league campaign held in Hungarton over what is regarded as the toughest road-race in Leicestershire.

With the traditional seven-mile course extended this year due to road-works taking place in the village of Hungarton the men’s race witnessed top British Masters athletes Gordon Lee (Coritanians) and Tim Hartley (Barrow) go head-to-head breaking away from a group that included Ashley Sabin (Coritanians) at the four-mile point with the destination of the race victory decided by a sprint finish with Lee edging the win by a margin of just two-seconds clear of Hartley in a time of 37mins 05secs. Sabin secured third in 39:02.

In a quality women's race Nealon won her 9th Hungarton victory with an impressive gun-to-tape victory clocking a time of 44:13 to finish ahead of Nicola Roder (Leicester Tri) 46:13 and Zoe Procter (Birstall) 47:18.

On the best 4 from 6 summer road races, Nealon with two wins and two runner-up places secured the overall title having last won in 2007.

WORLD marathon record-holder Paula Radcliffe at seven months pregnant took part in the Leeds 10km for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal on Sunday – and got a big hug from daughter Isla afterwards.

Radcliffe, 36, finished in a time of 45 minutes and 35 seconds, slightly outside of her world record of 30 minutes 21 seconds set in 2002.

Afterwards Radcliiffe paid tribute to Tomlinson who set up the charity before she died of cancer in 2007, commenting: “Jane was such an inspirational person and this race is really in her image. It is about something so serious but it deals with it in such a positive way, with a lot of joy for a lot of people.”

Sunday 27th June 2010

PAUL Richardson and Diana Lobacevske defied soaring temperatures on the hottest day of the year to claim fine solo individual victories at the Prestwold 10km, the latest round of the 2010 LRRL Summer League Series.

With all eyes concentrating on the high profile European Trials and UK Championships taking place in Birmingham the domestic road-running campaign continued across the British Isles and at Prestwold Hall on the outskirts of Loughborough over the course surrounding the Everyman Racing circuit, Paul Richardson (OWLS), a top-ten finisher in the Bupa Great London 10,000m race in May, outpaced the field headed by defending race winner Gordon Lee (Coritanians) making light work of the warm conditions the 28-year-old crossed the line clocking an impressive winning time of 30mins 46secs.

AFTER an injury hit year to date Stilton Striders Chris Southam was back to winning ways as he narrowly chased down Beaumont's Phil Critchlow to take the Men's title in 4:56 as Fleckney & Kibworth continued to roll out their annual "Magic Miles! race evening.

Previously held as a strictly community based event the 2010 renewal saw an exciting new venue in Kibworth Cricket Club and some select invitations mainly around the host clubs Leicestershire Vision 20-20 Athletics Networks partners with entries from Charnwood AC, Hinckley RC, Stilton Striders, Ivanhoe Robins and Leicester Coritianians. Having passed the test and receiving some encouraging feedback Fleckney & Kibworth hope to further expand the format next year.

Another motivation for widening the scope is that part of the Networks vision is to bring events like the Magic Miles into local communities allowing some talented athletes to showcase themselves alongside keen locals entering into the spirit of the occasion in a village sports day type atmosphere.

Once again long time supporters of the club Ex Leicester City Muzzt Izzet and Leicester Tigers head coach Richard Cockerill, Cockerill making light of his own playing days role of a front row protagonist doubled up by running both the Mile and later the 4 x one lap relay. Izzet true to his word ran 5:53 for the mile beating his 2009 time by 2 seconds.

The women's mile was won by host club second claimer Jody Ward in 6:25 whilst in the younger ranks some well respected county champions made the journey into South Leicestershire with some outstanding performances. In the Under 14 race Midlands cross-country champion Hannah Cox prevailed in 5:43 but only after a prolonged tussle with Stilton's Striders Lucy Palmer. In the same James Hatton coasted in to win in 5:26 just a second clear of the fast finishing Luke Jane of Stilton in 5:27 with Josh Ashman of the host club third in 5:50.

The outstanding result of the night came in the Under 18 race with Stefan Ashman declining an offer to race against the seniors and running solo against the clock to cross the line in an outstanding 4:49. Fellow Coritianian Phillip Maddocks followed in 5:32 just ahead of Fleckney & Kibworth's Chris Parkes Bowen in 5:35.

At the conclusion of the evening 11 teams took on the the traditional 4 x one lap relay. This resulted in a victory for Leicester Coritianians despite their only having three athletes present, their dilemma being solved with the redoubtable Ashman taking the first and last legs on with support from Maddocks and the late arriving Jonny Monk to post a total time of 4:04.

The Glooston 10km

Glooston, Market Harborough, Leicestershire

Saturday 19th June 2010

GORDON Lee (Coritanians) out paced county rival Mark Powell (Wigston Phoenix) to comfortably win the Glooston 10k by a margin of 25 seconds clocking a new course record time of 31mins 59secs with Sean Fenwick (Harborough) in third.

Lee and Powell surged away from the start with Lee setting a scorching pace as they went through the first mile in 4.41. A second mile of 4.50 was too much for Powell as he gradually lost touch.

Lee eased his pace a little on the second lap but by this time victory was assured as he sliced more than two-minutes of the three-year-old course record set by Garry Payne.

Clare O’Neill (Roadhoggs) completed her debut victory for the host club in the women’s race crossing the line in a time of 42:07 ahead of Lisa Morris (Notts AC) 43:28.

There was a new lifetime best over the distance of 39:23 for Great Britain elite paratriathelete Haseeb Ahmed of Leicester Tri Club.
